Well considering I'm not a veterinarian, no. But there are clinics out there that do charity work for animals and places that keep em after. And for sure, I bet it is expensive as fuck. I always wanted a horse but you need land for them to graze and a stable to keep em in. And yes, putting down an animal is a hard thing to do but sometimes necessary. Was just hoping they could help em, that's all.

Yeah for sure. It’s super sad dude. But that’s what makes this incident so despicable. They’re beautiful, delicate animals. Respect them and take good care of them. You just don’t do what this guy did to a horse. Hard stop. And he’s a piece of shit for it.

That said , like I said before, unfortunately putting down horses is something you got to be prepared for if you own horses. But it shouldn’t happen like this.

Horses aren't delicate. Feed them, house them, train them, and treat them with respect, they'll work their butts off for their owners for years and years in good health. Horses grew this country from a colony to a first world nation.

Horses are like any animal, they respond poorly to abuse. I doubt the piss poor handling of this poor creature started recently, and I wouldn't doubt he's abused other animals in the past.

I want to see the judge forbid him to own animals, ever again. They do that for the worst of the animal hoarders and abusers.

There is a reason mules exist.

As far as livestock goes, horses are pretty delicate.

Horses can be incredibly tough, yes, but their legs are a fine balance of a lot of little delicate components that all need to work together perfectly.
